Nhat Le Beach (Dong Hoi)
Bãi biển Nhật Lệ
A city beach in Dong Hoi, the gateway city to Phong Nha, with long white sand and rows of seafood stalls. A convenient stop on the way in or out of the park.
Nhat Le Beach lies east of Dong Hoi, the capital of Quang Binh province, just south of the Nhat Le River mouth. Several kilometres of white sand face the South China Sea, lined with a seaside boulevard, resort hotels and seafood restaurants. In the morning you can watch the sunrise and fishing boats returning to port, and in the evening locals swim and stroll here. Admission is free. The beach is about 45 km from Phong Nha town, roughly an hour's drive. Dong Hoi has an airport and a railway station, so many travellers spend a night here before or after visiting Phong Nha. Autumn and winter bring rough seas, so take care when swimming.
